Installation
The game comes packaged as a ZIP-file. Unzip it to any location using a file manager that supports ZIP-files (such as 7-Zip).
Hashes
If you want to verify that the software hasn't been tampered with, please use the hashes provided below:
MD5 for Lawnmother 1.0.0 Win64.zip: b1cb9703833bf14494398cf901e9e589
Windows
The ZIP-file you just unzipped contains a single folder which contains an executable called 'Lawnmother.exe' and some other files and folders needed to run the game. Make sure you leave these where they are so they're in the same directory. Dinohunger mac os. Double click the executable to run the game.
At this point, Windows SmartScreen may warn you about or prevent you from running the software. Select 'Run anyway' to bypass this warning. If that option doesn't appear, press the blue 'More info' text below the warning message and the option should appear.
This warning is caused by the fact that we don't have a code sign certificate, which is used to automatically verify that the code hasn't been tampered with. You can verify this manually using the hash provided above, after which (or if you don't care) you can ignore the warning.
Mac
Mac support will be added in a future update.
Other platforms
No other platforms are planned as of now. However, if there's enough demand, we could make a Linux build. It's also possible for us to make an Android build, although that would require a reworked control scheme and a lot of optimization work.
Updates and feedback
Due to the short development time of this game, we had to cut certain nice-to-have features to make the deadline. We plan on updating the game with these features and to fix any bugs or issues that arise.
If you stumble upon a bug, have any positive or constructive feedback you'd like us to hear or if you'd like us to bring Lawnmother to your platform of choice, please leave a comment below or contact us at treehouse.his@gmail.com. Any and all feedback is highly appreciated!
To do:
- Add proper controller support
- Add save system
- Add graphics quality options
- Extend platform support to Mac
Known issues:
- Music sometimes cuts out when picking up a power-up and returns when picking up another power-up. (If you experience this, please contact us to help us nail down the exact circumstances for when this happens. Thank you!)
Content warnings
This game contains mature humor and occasional language.
How long does it take to play the game from start to finish?
It depends on how well you play. It's possible to finish the game in 20 minutes, but about 40-80 minutes is more realistic for a first playthrough.
What software did you use to make the game?
We used Unity 2019.2 as our game engine and FMOD Studio as our audio engine. Other software we used during development include Visual Studio 2019, Maya 2019, Blender, Photoshop, Paint.NET, FL Studio, Ableton, Reaper, Logic Pro and GitHub with the GitHub Desktop client. Launch trailer footage was recorded with OBS and was originally edited in iMovie then reconstructed in Vegas Pro 14 for better timing and video quality.
Why is this game free?
This game was developed as a student project at The University of Skövde. It's intended to be more of a portfolio-piece for the team members who worked on it rather than a commercial product.
Can I play this game in a YouTube video or on a livestream?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, we encourage it! All of the audio in this game is original and safe to use in videos or livestreams. We'd appreciate it if you made sure to leave a link back to this page in your video description or in chat. Thank you!
How can I support the developers of this game?
